So with the Roku, I am able to watch all the new shows from ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC the day after the air live?
also ATL, how do you watch Pelicans games? Can that be accessed through the FoxSportsGo app?

CBS: Apparently going the subscription route for streaming, $6/month I believe.
FOX: "If you don't see your provider or you don't have one, don't fret - new episodes unlock 8 days after broadcast!"
NBC: "No login required for access to episodes of certain new series, including BLINDSPOT, HEROES REBORN, CHICAGO MED and more. Plus, with a TV provider login, you can watch new episodes of every show the day after they air and binge on complete seasons of select series."
So the networks seem kind of all over the place as far as streaming goes. Personally, I prefer an antenna + OTA DVR so I don't have to worry about waiting 8 days, paying CBS, or worrying which series NBC decides to stream. And some DVRs like the Tablo have a Roku app, so you can watch your recordings without switching inputs or UI.

FoxSportsGo requires a cable login. The Pelicans and NBA League Pass' stupid blackout rules are actually one of the reasons I still have cable. Playon has some unsupported channels like Plex that let you access the illegal streams and I did try that out for a Pels game a few weeks ago, but I could only get it to work on the Playon app on my iPhone. When I tried it in the Playon app on Roku the stream wouldn't play even though I know it was a good stream because it worked on my phone. I haven't tried Plex's illegal stream access yet, if I do I'll post back how it worked.
I haven't tried it yet because Windows 7 doesn't support it, but if you have 8 or later you're supposed to be able to mirror your PC screen to the Roku. You can also do this from an Android phone. So if you can access a Pelicans stream from either of those you should be able to watch it on your TV through the Roku.
